TIRES
Air pressure
Maintaining the correct tire pressure is important to the safe operation of the vehicle as well as
ensuring long tread life.
Under inflated tires result in:
• Excessive tire side wall flexing that can result in sudden tire failure.
•
Excessive tread wear resulting in shortened tire life.
Over inflated tires result in:
•
Tire explosion due to excessive pressure.
•
Reduced road surface traction.
•
Increased vibration from the road surface.
•
Premature tread wear.
Unequal tire inflation may result in:
•
Uneven braking and loss of control of the vehicle.
•
Steering pulling to the left or right.
Only check the tire pressure when the tire is cold. When checking tire pressure, you must check
all tires including your spare tire.
The correct tire size and pressure can be found in the specifications list in the manual. The tire
pressure shall only be adjusted when cold (i.e., “cold” is defined as the tires’ internal temperature
matches the ambient temperature before the vehicle has been driven). Note: The front and rear
tires may have a different tire pressure specification.
Note: The front and rear tires may have a different tire pressure specification.
Incorrect tire inflation can result in sudden failure of the tire and/or braking / steering
problems leading to loss of control of the vehicle.
Never exceed the maximum pressure as indicated on the side wall of the tire. Exceeding the
maximum pressure may cause explosive failure of the tire resulting in severe bodily injury.
